Capture any part of your screen in an instant.
Mark up and annotate with clean, simple tools.
Full Screen (⌃⇧F), Region (⌃⇧R), Window (⌃⇧W) — or Scrolling capture, which auto-scrolls a long page and stitches it into one tall image. Include the cursor or hide it, set a countdown timer, and pick your display on multi-monitor setups. Every capture opens straight in the editor.
QuickTime-compatible H.264 MP4 — no conversion needed. Record a full screen, a region, or a single window. Add a live webcam overlay and microphone audio, and pause or resume from a floating HUD you can drag anywhere on screen.
Arrows, text, callouts, shapes, highlighter, auto-numbered steps, a magnifier loupe, icon stamps, and focus steps that spotlight key areas by dimming everything else. Every annotation lives on its own layer and stays fully editable until you export — select it any time to move, restyle, or delete.
Blur or pixelate passwords, emails, tokens, and faces before a screenshot leaves your Mac. Both are applied as editable regions until export, so you can adjust exactly what's hidden.
Extract selectable text from any image (OCR), generate a description of a screenshot, isolate a subject and remove the background with Smart Select, or type a plain-English command to add annotations. Everything runs locally on Apple's Neural Engine — your images are never uploaded anywhere.
Save as a .pixelnoted file to preserve the image plus every layer and annotation — double-click it in Finder later and keep editing where you left off. The Layers panel reorders and toggles annotations; the Library panel keeps recent captures one click away.
No account to create. No analytics running in the background. Pixel.Noted works completely offline — the only time it touches the network is if you choose to download an optional AI model. Your captures stay on your device.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Pixel.Noted runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.
Yes, entirely. No internet connection is ever required, and there are no accounts or telemetry. AI features run on-device; the only time the app touches the network is if you choose to download an optional AI model.
Yes. Everything is processed locally on your Mac. There's no cloud upload, no analytics, and no tracking — even OCR and image analysis run on-device using Apple's Neural Engine.
PNG, JPEG, WebP, HEIF, TIFF, BMP, and PDF. You can also copy the result straight to the clipboard.
.pixelnoted file?It's Pixel.Noted's native format. Unlike a flat PNG, it preserves the image plus every layer and annotation so you can reopen and keep editing later. Double-click one in Finder to open it.
Choose a recording scope, then enable the webcam and microphone from the floating recording HUD (pick your devices in Settings → Devices). The result is a single H.264 MP4.
Use the Blur or Pixelate tool to cover the region before exporting.
Use the Smart Select tool to select your subject, remove the background, and export as PNG to keep transparency.
Select the Crop tool. By default you drag the edges of the crop frame independently (or a corner to move two sides). You can switch to "draw a region" mode in Settings → Editor → Crop. Press Return to apply.
Yes — use Scrolling capture, which stitches the scrolled frames into a single tall image.
Undo is ⌘Z and Redo is ⌘⇧Z. Edit history steps through in both directions; if something looks wrong, Redo restores your most recent change.
